Magnetism and its healing powers have been fascinating mankind since ancient times: For example the Mayas used so-called "slate mirrors" made of magnetic hematite or magnetite for medical treatments and even the Egyptian Pharaoh Cleopatra is reported to have worn a magnetite on her forehead to ease her migraine. Even the well-known medieval physician Paracelsus (1493-1541) described the effects of magnetism in his writings. And also the Roman natural scientist Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) reports that the Greek and Romans used magnetites for their medicine and since centuries the Chinese have been applying this stone to positively influence the life force Qi. This ancient knowledge remained unused for a long time until some decades ago magnetic field therapy has been used again as part of alternative medicine, with the aim to increase physical well-being and to stimulate recreation and stress relaxation.
The overall picture of this rather slender magnetic bracelet is dominated by geometric designs like the silver-colored rectangles and the black diamonds made of glass. This creates a very pleasing design in respect of shape and color which can be worn at any occasion in order to benefit from the positive effects of magnetic field therapy. This extraordinary piece of jewelry is threaded on elastic band thus fitting every wrist.

We were always fascinated by pieces of jewelry designed according to historical artwork and magical and other old motifs are a main area of our jewelry collection until today. Nowadays we all are surrounded by designs and motifs from all over the world which we usually choose according to visual aspects without considering the original meaning and symbolism of the various depictions. For sure the beauty of the different designs and materials is a good reason for selecting them but the affinity to a special piece of jewelry or art craft can be enhanced if one knows its deeper meaning and its origin. For this reason we always placed value on the accurate representation and information explaining the various pieces of jewelry in our collection.

Since the beginning of mankind jewelry served several different purposes. Already before the invention of money it was for example used as a kind of currency, as a status symbol or as a valuable asset that even could be passed on to future generations. Many pieces of jewelry also had a functional purpose like it is the case with fastenings for clothes, safety pins and belt buckles. However, at a more spiritual level the jewelry also had a symbolic meaning, showed the affiliation to and the status in a social group, and was worn for the protection from evil or simply to show one's own taste.

On account of these many different purposes the meaning of single pieces of jewelry can be very different and depends on the belief and the point of view of the respective manufacturer. In some cultures, e.g., bracelets were used as wedding jewelry, like the wedding rings of today, in other societies necklaces served the same purpose. The symbolic meaning of a piece of jewelry often cannot only be found in the piece itself, but also in its decorations or the used materials. In some cultures it is usual to give pieces of jewelry as a gift at certain important times in life which should emphasize the symbolic meaning of these events with the help of their decorations. These pieces were then often worn as amulets or talismans and were believed to protect and support its wearer during this new situation in life.

Not only the used symbols and decorations differ strongly between the cultures - a huge number of different materials were also used in the course of time. In the beginnings especially shells and pearls of wood and bone were used, because these natural materials were readily available and could easily be processed. Later the precious metals silver and gold became more and more important and also the use of precious stones increased. Nowadays all possible materials are used to underline the meaning of a piece of jewelry even further thereby creating pendants and other jewelry that could not be designed using traditional materials.
